“Various other Catholic Rites do not bar ordained priests from marriage.”

ALL “Catholic Rites” bar ordained priests from marriage; every last one of them.

eastern rite Catholics who are married can become priests.
Roman Catholics who are married can only become deacons.

Roman Catholics will accept eastern rite priest who are converting. Hence married Roman Catholic priests.

Yeah not so much there, I beleive that ALL Eastern rites, (Byzantine, Eastern Orthodox, etc...., as well as some of the Oriental rites) allowed married Clergy.

You are aware that there are in the neighborhood of 19 or 20 different rites in the "Catholic" Church, only one of which is the "Roman" Rite I beleive that Eastern Orthodox is the only one one not fully in communion with the Catholic Church.
